Hello Friends,
On this episode we head to the boat to test fit the enclosure and make sure all the measurements line up. After getting the stove set down in the brackets and seeing how she swings we head back ashore and get to work on preparing the bulkheads and start the laminating process.
After drilling out the holes for the brackets I installed countersunk “T-Nuts” on both of the bulkheads. This will give me the strength of a through bolt without having an exposed nut on the other side of the bulkhead. In the chance that I should ever find myself capsized in the southern ocean I want to make sure the oven stays put until the boat rights itself. Everything I build on my boat I build with the knowledge that one day I will be sailing in the Southern Ocean and I want to make sure every project I do is as strong and secure as possible.
I used white formica for the surfaces and DAP Weldwood contact cement to adhere it.
With the help of my wife Camille and Mr. Steady the hound we got the enclosure all screwed together and ready for more laminating.
